A Very Fine Line

Billions and billions of years ago God knew that, because of the
angelic conflict, the function of giving would be attacked both 
with in the local church and in the secular world. Many people 
give because they think that God is a "genie" who will give them
what they want because they "ante in" a certain amount in the 
collection plate. Many people give to assuage a guilt complex.
They  have become financially successful, perhaps by some
 unethical business practices. Giving some portion of this money 
to charity and the underprivileged eases the conscience! There is often 
a very fine line between true Biblical giving and giving with false 
motivation.

"If ye shall ask any thing in My name, I will do it."
John 14:14

Lord, thank You for the availability of Your Spirit to sustain Your  children.
In Christ name I pray
